Ingredients
Method
- Cook the 4 strips bacon in a skillet over medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes until crisp, drain on paper towels, and crumble. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Whisk together the 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup whole milk, 2 tbsp softened cream cheese, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder for about 1 minute until mostly smooth.
- Stir in the crumbled bacon, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar, 2 tbsp green bell pepper, and 2 tbsp white onion until evenly distributed.
- Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray, fill each cup three-quarters full, and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18 to 20 minutes until the tops are set and edges pull away from the tin.
- Run a knife around each bite, turn them out onto a plate, top with a pinch of extra shredded cheddar and a crack of black pepper, and serve warm.
Notes
These bites are best eaten within 10 minutes of coming out of the oven, but they reheat well enough that a Sunday batch will carry you through Thursday. If your oven runs hot, check at the 16-minute mark; overcooked egg bites are the main thing to avoid with this recipe.
